Want this question answered?
The factors that affect a river's ability to erode and carry sediment would be its size, how deep it is, and how fast it is going. If it is going downhill that can also affect it.
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
The greater the speed the less sediment deposited. A delta is where a river slows way down and sediment is deposited at the mouth of the river.
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.

Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Wind can also drop sediment into the water. Hope I helped! -DorkyGeek77

A river's slope, volume of flow, and the shape of its streambed all affect how fast the river flows and how much sediment it can erode.
Yes, erosion rates are actually increased by a high suspended sediment load.
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
